No Tesco delivery = no creative sustenance

I’ve been out of action for a considerable time with flu but have just published No. 21 in fromessextolondonin101boyfriends.com.

This CPD certificate was well earned and received in Banbury and I’m adapting for Freud Museum in May …. watch this space …

Tesco oh Tesco

No deliveries till Saturday , Tesco metro closed

It’s cold turkey for me

But I have no Bernard Matthews in the freezer , just ice for gin and tonics, peas, some crumbs and one of those yellow sticky tags that are on loaves of cut bread…..

I’ve got lots of tins though , my parents taught me from their time of war rations to always have tins and bacon rashons ..

I’ve also got a husband who is strong and can do all sorts of things to survive, like make gloves from rabbit skins, so I’m sure we’ll be ok…

Tesco delivery man and my friend

I was very excited that Tesco delivery man came when I had a visitor – the one and only Julie Andrew’s – in the photo she is holding a pack of 4 Simple soap.   These days many use liquid soap, but I enjoy seeing how long I can continue using the thin piece of soap left at the end, I rub it on myself until it disintegrates, great pleasure.

I love having visitors, this is why I love the #Tesco delivery men because they are so regular and don’t ever out stay their welcome.  Julie is so funny she would never out stay her welcome.  I paid her to buy the kindle version of my book and she has written a ‘verified customer’ five star review of my latest book Mind Full of Mad Verse.  She has said something like – it is so funny you need Tena Lady Pants.

Talking of which, do please sign up to my blog fromessextolondonin101boyfriends.com

I’ve just done a new entry about moped Mike but he doesn’t enter, he wasn’t a boyfriend, it’s just a teaser for the men in cars section of the book.img_0984

 

No Tesco till the weekend as I’m busy passing my shopping centre #mobility scooter test

I had to go to the Apple shop again in Bromley Glades before my year guarantee ran out on my iPhone. Apart from at the Olympic’s I’ve never used a mobility scooter. I was very pleased to pass my test which involved driving round cones in figures of 8 in the car park in forward and reverse . Trouble is , my license only lasts for 3 months so I’d have to take up shopping to keep it valid. It’s fun though , trying to keep the doors open of lifts and negotiating other shoppers, and only £3 for an afternoon , much cheaper than the bumper cars.

Oh, talking of cars don’t forget to keep up with blog fromessextolondonin101boyfriends.com …. all about cars

Dreaming of change

One of my readers dreamt I changed from Tesco to Asda. I wasn’t aware Asda do deliveries but I’ve just googled and they do . When I am really bored one day (boredom = depression/suppression) I shall look into this. But then I would have to get to know different delivery people and they would have to get used to my routine of how we work together in entry and unpacking. A lot to think about. There is also the possibility that readers are bored with my Tesco blog, which I can do nothing about at this point in time.

Tesco Delivery organised fours after landing at Gatwick

It was lovely to see Marco who was one of the first delivery men who I photographed last year, what a lovely welcome home.  Check out my tanned face and fluffy mules.

Since I have been out of the country Tesco have been advertising lots of meal deals for Valentines day.  I have an issue with this as if all the items don’t arrive you are charged the full price.  Pre-empting any disappointment, I rang customer services and spoke with Greg and he said not to worry, if they don’t all arrive he will refund me so effectively whatever happens I will get the equivalent of a free bottle of champagne I can enjoy with my husband.

Thumbs up to old uncle Tesco, he’s a bit removed but kind at heart, on some level and his delivery drivers are ace.

Look out for fromessextolondonin101boyfriends.com latest boyfriend coming tonight …

No Tesco delivery after this one for a while

I’m off tomorrow for Vit d but have scheduled some teasers on my book/blog fromessextolondonin101boyfriends.com

Apart from my faithful facebook/twitter friends, I never know who may read my work and I forget that I am facebook friends with my uncle, hi Uncle Peter!  I was speaking with him yesterday about celebrating his 90th birthday in March

‘I’ve been reading your stories’ he said

‘They are a bit raunchy Uncle Peter do you like them?’

‘They are hilarious’ he chuckled

‘It’s all fiction of course, it’s going to get worse, darker, deeper, raunchier’ I replied

‘Keep them coming’ he said

I value your support uncle Peter (as I do everyone who reads my art) and can’t wait to celebrate your birthday with you.  You are an inspiration always, especially re how you live and have lived with polio almost all of your life  ….  I seem to remember you have Sainsbury’s delivery but I might be wrong

#Tesco delivery man, meal deal’s and customer services

One is penalised if one buys the meal deal online and not all of the items are available. A jobs worth at customer services will tick you off as you didn’t go through the whole caboodle with the delivery man and send back the other 3 items (i.e. the incomplete meal deal stuff). This is discriminatory as if one were able to go in a Tesco it would be clear the items were unavailable therefore one wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place unless for example they were inebriated whilst shopping.  In my experience sometimes one will encounter a non jobsworth customer services person  who will apologize and refund immediately.  How different one’s experience of incomplete meal deals can be. This is  a poem I wrote when I went shopping once.

The Meal Deal

Can I have the cloudy apple juice?
Is that in it?
Can I have the rhubarb smoothie?
Is that in it?
Oh well, I’ll have the orange juice

Can I have the root vegetable crisps with beetroot in?
Are they in it?
Can I have the sweet chilli crisps?
Are they in it?
Ah, nevermind, I’ll have the cheese and onion

#MS, Vitamin D and Pets

I found this book  and shall read whilst away next week getting my Vit D …I’ve always believed Vit d was a key and would spend summers in the 1980’s/90’s on Pelekas nudist beach.  Arriving with symptoms, leaving with none.

I’ve joined a me too kind of facebook group for women with MS … tonight the group are posting photos of their pets, I only have access to my daughters gold fish that won’t die, the tank is murky but I hope the group like it.  I wonder if there is a status re women with MS and pets
